中国药科大学无锡创新研究院是由中国药科大学和无锡高新区管委会共同创办的事业单位，现有科研场地3万平方米。作为校地协同创新标杆项目，该研究院的建立既是贯彻国家“十四五”生物经济发展规划、落实创新驱动发展战略的关键实践，也是深化校市战略合作、构筑"政产学研用"一体化生态的里程碑成果。研究院锚定全球生物医药前沿领域，构建"8+N"创新矩阵：以创新药物研发为龙头，同步建设皮肤健康研究中心、药物递释技术研究中心、泛核酸创新药物研究中心、高端医疗器械研究中心、特定人群健康产品研究中心、合成生物学研究中心、特色中药复方制剂及天然产物研究中心等八大支柱板块，配套搭建公共仪器技术服务平台、药学动物实验中心平台等公共服务平台，形成覆盖"基础研究-中试放大-产业转化"的全链条创新体系。通过实施"核心技术攻关、知识产权运营、创新生态培育"三维驱动战略，着力破解行业"卡脖子"技术瓶颈。

Wuxi Innovation Research Institute of China Pharmaceutical University is a public institution jointly founded by China Pharmaceutical University and the Management Committee of Wuxi high tech Zone, with an existing scientific research site of 30000 square meters. As a benchmark project of University local collaborative innovation, the establishment of the Institute is not only the key practice of implementing the national "14th five year" bioeconomy development plan and implementing the innovation driven development strategy, but also a milestone achievement of deepening the strategic cooperation between the University and the city and building an ecological integration of "government, industry, University, research and application". The Institute has anchored in the Global Frontier of biomedicine and built an "8+n" innovation matrix: led by the research and development of innovative drugs, it has simultaneously built eight pillar sectors, including the skin health research center, the drug delivery technology research center, the pan nucleic acid innovative drug research center, the high-end medical device Research Center, the health product research center for specific populations, the synthetic biology research center, and the Research Center for characteristic traditional Chinese medicine compound preparations and natural products. It has also built public service platforms such as the public instrument technology service platform and the pharmaceutical animal experiment center platform, forming a full chain innovation system covering "basic research pilot scale-up industrial transformation". Through the implementation of the three-dimensional driving strategy of "tackling key problems in core technology, operating intellectual property rights, and cultivating innovation ecology", efforts have been made to break the "neck" technology bottleneck in the industry.
